title = "'Dead as Earth': Contemporary Topicality and Myths of Origin in King Lear and The Shadow King",
abstract = "This essay considers the cultural work undertaken by an Australian Aboriginal adaptation of Lear. The appropriative process produces unexpected alignments and dissonances between the embedded cultural norms of the play-texts and those of its adapters. Several para-discourses, when combined with the play and production, can contribute to a thick description of its function as a cultural entity.",
